This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Well, gather around now, you boys and listen to the man
He says we've fought divided but united we will stand
We'll sacrifice the older ones, they're living in the past
We'll burn up their religions and we'll all be free at last
We'll put a hat upon his head and then we'll call him God
And then we'll share our health in him like peas do in a pod
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
We'll follow him throughout the land obeying his command
We'll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand
The children came a-running from their houses of decay
And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way
He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth
Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
This morning I had another talk
With the German chancellor, Herr Hitler
Here is the paper which bears
His name upon it as well as mine
We regard the agreement signed last night
As symbolic of the desire of our two peoples
Never to go to war with one another again
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
The year had come and gone and everyone began to see
Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way?
Let's turn our hatred to this man, we know he's just a fraud
We crucify him with the rest and find another God
How many times have you heard someone is coming here to say
That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave
This is the story of a man with nothing in his head
And no one's gonna listen to you when you're dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
He says we've fought divided but united we will stand
We'll sacrifice the older ones, they're living in the past
We'll burn up their religions and we'll all be free at last
We'll put a hat upon his head and then we'll call him God
And then we'll share our health in him like peas do in a pod
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
We'll follow him throughout the land obeying his command
We'll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand
The children came a-running from their houses of decay
And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way
He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth
Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself
This is the story of a man with a future in his head
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older, decay
This morning I had another talk
With the German chancellor, Herr Hitler
Here is the paper which bears
His name upon it as well as mine
We regard the agreement signed last night

And no one's gonna listen to you when you're dead
We're all getting older
The light is on and bolder
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older
We're all getting older

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
